Anger and ADHD
My 15 yr old son has intense anger melt downs caused by sensory over load and feeling over whelmed. He is taking a low dose of concerta. Would a higher dose enable him to handle stress more efficiently?? I’m so exhausted at times!!

New to ADHD
Hello, I am new here. My son ... age 14 has been diagnosed with ADHD. I think all along I knew he had ADHD. Since kindergarten there has always been issues but last three years of his schooling have been extremely stressful. I don't know if I was scared to find out for sure or just didn't want to

Ritalin or Concerta advise please...?
Hi, I started on 3 x 10mg ritalin about 4 weeks ago, with pretty ordinary repercussions -greater anxiety, jittery, nauseas etc..but did find me slightly more motivated. I stopped the meds due to the anxiety alot worse, however my brain fog has come back, along with zero motivation and focus. In this

Should I increase or decrease my dose of Concerta(Ritalin with slow release) ?
Hi, I am on Concerta 40 MG per day. It has helped a lot in my social interactions. I feel more attentive and able to think through the situation before acting, but I still find it very difficult to concertrate while studying or doing mentally intensive work. I am really confused whether I should

CBD Oil (Cannabidiol)
Hey there, I am looking for someone to educate me on the use of CBD oil in children. My son has struggled for a couple years now and has a fairly bad case of ADHD. I hate giving him concerta because it kills his appetite and makes him less social which is already an issue. He has high functioning autism

New here and welcoming help. :)
👋🏽 My 10-year-old son was diagnosed with AHDH about a year ago and started on Concerta about 4 months ago. The only thing I can say it has done is make my son not want to eat throughout the day. I was skeptical about it in the beginning because I honestly just want to learn more about my son and build

Guanfacine
Hi! My son began with concerta and it worked really bad. After that, the doctor recommended me to change to guanfacine. Anyone with the same experience? I hope this time works...

Augmentation? I'm guessing yes.
I'm new here and hope to contribute to and benefit from this site. Nighttime RLS started in 2010. My GP started me on Requip 1mg on 1/10/11. Worked for some months and then dosage was increased to Requip XL 2mg on 9/2/11. Worked very well for a couple of years and then worsening daytime and nightime

Prescription change
My 12 year daughter is currently taking concerta wondering if switching to adderal would make a big difference. I have done some research and they seem about the same. My daughter has more of the focus issue then hyperactivity. Has anyone else gone this route. Adderal is also a lot cheaper also.

Son’s 1st day on Quillivant
Brings me to October, when he was diagnosed with ADHD and prescribed
Concerta
XL
. He never could swallow it and why this past week he was prescribed Quillivant XR 20 mg. He chose chewable over liquid.

Concerta and wide awake at night
Have you experienced this with your child when taking a Concerta? My 6 yr old has always went to bed at 7:30 and slept till 5:45-6am. Since he started Concerta this last weekend he can’t fall asleep and when he does he wakes up at 4am or sometimes earlier. Have you tried melatonin?? My sister in law

Teenage daughter ADD, ADHD, Biploar, Impulsive behavior
I have a 14 year old daughter that has been in my life now for 5 years. Therapy during the 5 years seem to work only while we’re in front of the therapist. She constantly breaks in rooms and steals. I walk around in our home like a janitor (keys on Hip) in order to go from room to room. I’m at my wits
